Life for Sale
by Yukio Mishima

★★★★☆

First time borrowing a book at the library of the town where I study! I really have no excuse since it's free for students but it still took me almost 2 years 😳, which also means I read it in French!

I liked it ! Not a 5 stars because i was kind of bothered by how he described women, and because I felt like the end was kind of underwhelming. I would have like 20/30 more pages to get a real resolution, but I understand the effect that the author wanted to give, like a kind of crash after being pumped full of adrenaline.

The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession
by Michael Finkel

★★★☆☆

First book of the year ! And it ended up being a disapointment, oh well.

We follow Stéphane Breitwieser, an art thief and his girlfriend and accomplice, Anne-Catherine Kleinklaus, as they steal many pieces of art around France, Belgium, and other neighbouring countries.

It's a nonfiction book, which is a genre I don't usually read but the summary seemed up my alley so I picked it up and read it during boring classes. I really liked the first part of the book, while reading we feel the same adrenaline that Breitwieser and Anne-Catherine feel while stealing, but after a while it becomes quite repetitive, all of their break-in are the same and the story doesn't feel exciting anymore. At the end, it really fell flat for me, the ending almost seems rushed. When Breitwieser is finally caught by the police, we get a couple chapters of him talking with policemen and a detective (?) but I felt like I was reading the same chapter over and over. We never really know what happened to the stolen pieces, or Anne-Catherine.
Not really a bad book, just really repetitive.

Boys Run the Riot (4 volumes)
by Keito Gaku

★★★★☆

I read the first volume when I was in high-school for our manga club and I really liked it back then, so I decided to pick it back up (once again during a boring class) and went through the four volumes in around 2 hours.

We follow a trans highschooler, Ryo, during the discovery of their identity and of their love for fashion.

I really liked it ! I didn't give it 5 stars because it felt like the ending was rushed, we don't have any resolution on multiple storylines, like Ryo's love story or Jin's dad story.
